Add a word/Sounds like "lah" (as in "lava") + "DROHN" (as in "drone")/
Meaning
Standard Spanish for a thief or robber, used across the entire Spanish-speaking world in both formal and casual situations. Mexico has more colorful street terms like "ratero" or "chorro," but ladrón is the word you actually shout when someone grabs your phone and runs.
Examples
“Thief! He grabbed my phone right in front of everyone!”
“Catch him, he's a thief, he just stole from the store.”
